Good intake pipes aye. The 3 inch metal pipe fits snug inside it so not restricting it.

I Can supply if u like

There was no issue's with holding boost. Just how i set it up with the boost controll. Car feels like more than 200kw on the road.

It does feel really fast. And to think I got so much advice before I highflowed to get a bigger turbo, but I love the response of this unit.

Nice and torquey too

Fun!

Where did you get this intake pipe? I need a few my self.

In this case not sure if by using high pressure actuator holding more boost uptop would gain abit more kws, but that would be about the limit from high flowing a R32 GTT turbo.

I have a GCG highflowed R32 rb20det turbo that makes about ~235kw on 18psi dropping to 15psi by redline on an rb25det. Can hold 18-20psi to redline just haven't had a chance to get it tuned with that to see what it can make. I am 100% sure it is an rb20det turbo so you could probably squeeze a slightly bigger rear wheel in there if they managed to.

It has the valve on the compressor housing?

The Rb20det's high flow profile is smaller then what we normally do on RB25det. it can be made bigger, how ever the drivability would turn bad as its missing 0.5L and no VCT enhancing down low.

Rb25det would make power lot easier, Rb20dets are generally 20% behind in power.

I'm quite happy with how do the RB20 high flow :)

Tis a neat looking pipe. Can I assume correctly that this should fit an RB25 all the same? If so, what would you sell one for?

Isnt that intake pipe just a bit of straight 3" pipe with 2x45 degree silicone bends cut to the right lengths?

I would be a little bit worried about the silicone bends bending under cornering and acceleration load. Mine just uses a 90 degree metal bend but with fittings welded on so that the bov and pcv lines can be attached.

does that look like a metal intake pipe to you? :glare:

any competent exhaust shop can make up an intake pipe for you.

should cost anywhere from $100-$150~

yes it does..when you know how to look further.......cut that silicon sucker in half, get a short length 3" metal pipe and put those 2 'joiners' on both ends.. easy isnt it?? Thats how you create a backyard metal intake pipe that should work - refer cherring's car a page earlier on this thread.

I was set out to make my own and after figuring it out its not too hard. To use all your stock oil breather and BOV return, just get a 3" metal intake pipe with 90degree bend, stick it in the front of the turbo and cut the breather and return where they touch the pipe. The pieces you cut off form the nipples to attach your shit back onto. Any workshop will charge little to nothing to weld these on(if you know someone with the welder).

Don't bother trying to make any fancy bends to fit shit. Trust me a 3" 90degree pipe fits the z32 and apexi filter snuggly.

if you're gonna spend $60 on this + 3" pipe to cut and fit in, why not just do that with the stock intake pipe, its been done many times before on here, theres even a DIY thread about it.

I did read somewhere that even with the $10 intake mod (stock pipe cut in half with metal pipe stuck in the middle), those rubber bends STILL suck close and dont work for everyone...

Both are pointless and shit ideas. I tried the half metal half stock(the bigger end). According to Tao, this is a loss of 65rwkw from back to back tests he done. I made 244rwkw. Add 60rwkw you get 304rwkw from the SS2. Ive got it sorted now, full 3" metal just need a retune.

Good idea - I was also thinking of using a 3" 90 deg bend from supercheap for $27 something and get an exhaust place to weld on those annoying breather nipples..just worried about the fit..

Ooops -thats actually a 45 deg piece, they do have them 90deg pieces in aluminium

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
